Are you mred of the bracket generator? If so, thank you so much! I’ve used it many times.

Yep! It started out years ago as an excel spreadsheet to help me figure out Big 12 wbb seedings and morphed over time into a MBB and WBB website for almost all Div I conferences. I hope to add the few remaining next year.

partially because Texas is not very good. But also there is the good LVs and the bad LVs. Lately the bad LVs seem to have the way of it. But a few times we saw the good LVs this year. I guess they've totally lost all heart for whatever reason we may never know.

I watched most of the Wisconsin-Ohio State game. I sure hope Wisconsin can get their program going again soon. Ohio State ruined UW's senior night and won this one.

Whatever happened to Jolene Anderson? She's the last 'name' I remember coming out of WI, though I haven't followed them that closely. Any more, it's so incredibly tough to build a rising team in any conference, especially a P5 conference. Just in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers have had a great couple of seasons, though they didn't set the league on fire, they certainly made great strides from where they had been. The MI schools have been contenders, and of course, MD too. OH-State seemed to have some mojo going, back in the Lavender/Prehalis days, and then....poof! Couple of good season with Kelsey, and it's gone.

The TN/Vandy debacle tonight illustrates the way it's an inevitable cycle in all powerhouses. TN hung on longer than many, but it will never be the same for them again. Vanderbilt has also declined steadily, while the Mississippi States and South Carolinas have surged. Baylor wasn't all that years ago, while TX and OK were. TX-Tech played for a NC almost 30 years ago....not the same any more.

<sigh!> Old Dominion. LaTech. Wayland Baptist. Check back when your grandkids are watching March Madness in 2030. Enjoy the ride we're on, now.....power and its accompanying fame are fleeting.

As far as Tennessee goes, my question is does anyone actually think they'll leave them out of the NCAA Tournament? Whether they deserve to be in there or not, I get the feeling they'll make it partly due to their 'name recognition'.

Yeah I was struck tonight by how few names I recognized on the UW roster. MU and UW didn't play this season but have played the last 3 years and one of their seniors' names didn't even sound familiar to me. The thing with UW is that UWGB and Marquette have done fairly well the last few years with a number of talented players from Wisconsin and UW continues to flounder. UWGB is usually mostly players from Wisconsin. And of Marquette's 5 seniors who all have 1300+ career points, 3 are from the state of Wisconsin. So it's not as if UW couldn't be getting some of the in state talent also.

I think they will make the tournament too, but that's a pretty different question.

Yeah I don't think they deserve to go but I don't for a minute believe that the committee will leave them out.
